List of the major 100-kilometer summits of North America

The following sortable table comprises the 230 mountain peaks of greater North America with at least 100 kilometers (62.14 miles) of topographic isolation and at least 500 meters (1640 feet) of topographic prominence.

The summit of a mountain or hill may be measured in three principal ways:

1. The topographic elevation of a summit measures the height of the summit above a geodetic sea level.
2. The topographic prominence of a summit is a measure of how high the summit rises above its surroundings.
3. The topographic isolation (or radius of dominance) of a summit measures how far the summit lies from its nearest point of equal elevation.

Denali is one of only three summits on Earth with more than 6000 kilometers (3728 miles) of topographic isolation. Four major summits of greater North America exceed 2000 kilometers (1243 miles), eight exceed 1000 kilometers (621.4 miles), 35 exceed 500 kilometers (310.7 miles), 107 exceed 200 kilometers (124.3 miles), the following 230 major summits exceed 100 kilometers (62.14 miles), and 413 exceed 50 kilometers (31.07 miles) of topographic isolation.
